They have won the last 2 elections in Scotland. They didn't do that on the back of a single policy.

About the same as Cameron or Clegg's

By his party certainly, they're not called the Conservative and Unionist Party for nowt

Cameron's legacy will be "The PM who tore apart the Union"

Recounts are only allowed in certain circumstances, the closeness of the ballot isn't one of them

Taking aside the general "chippiness" of many Scots and an in-built antipathy towards the English, what this campaign has shown is that many, many Scots simply do not connect with a London-centric political elite.

I do hope that this will extend beyond the Scottish border and way past the referendum. A major factor in the lack of engagement in politics in the mainland UK, is the belief that, apart from a few tweaks, politicians are pretty much cut from the same cloth and are in it for what they can get out. Modern politicians aren't interesting in serving anyone but themselves and their backers.

If Thursday's decision is NO, then more powers will be devolved to Scotland. Wales & Northern Ireland will expect more and I would hope for a groundswell of support for Regional Assemblies in England too. If London can do it, why can't Yorkshire, Lancashire (as was) or the West Midlands? There could be an assembly for the East Midlands, the South East, The Umbrias (North and Cum) and the West Country. Cornwall and East Anglia are already like foreign countries anyway, so just leave them to their own devices.

I actually found myself agreeing with George Galloway on the radio today, when he was questioning the intimidatory campaigning of the Yes side.

The tactic of Salmond labelling the Yes campaign 'Team Scotland' is one laced with the type of division that could well lead to trouble on the streets of Scotland come the weekend - It is a label that suggests anybody voting No is not Scottish, or, at least, is not voting in the interests of Scotland.

Its also a tactic which makes me more convinced that the No's are actually further ahead than the polls suggest - I would reckon there are a decent number of folk who are scared to reveal their intention come Thursday for fear of reprisal.... Its a sad indictment of how sordid some of this campaigning truly is.






And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....
